Park Tool TM-1 Tension Meter Spoke Tension Gauge

Park Tool TM-1 Tension Meter – Precision Spoke Tension Gauge

The Park Tool TM-1 Tension Meter is a professional tool for measuring spoke tension on bicycle wheels. Designed for reliable use in workshops and by ambitious home mechanics.

• Enables uniform spoke tension for optimal wheel trueness and stability
• Easy reading of measured values through a color-coded scale that reduces errors
• Robust construction from durable materials for daily workshop use
• 24 months manufacturer warranty ensures long-term investment security

What sets the Park Tool TM-1 apart

The TM-1 measures spoke tension by evaluating deflection – a proven mechanical principle without electronics. The color-coded display allows quick comparison with recommended values for different spoke types. This makes wheel building and maintenance precise and reproducible.

Ideal for bicycle workshops and avid DIY enthusiasts

This measuring tool is aimed at professional mechanics, cyclists, and experienced hobbyists who build or maintain their own wheels. Its simple operation also makes it suitable for beginners who want to check spoke tension for the first time.

How to use the TM-1

Place the gauge perpendicularly on the spoke to be tested and press evenly. Read the value on the scale and compare it with the manufacturer's specifications for your wheel. Repeat the measurement on several spokes to obtain a uniform tension pattern.
